The Director-General National Institute for sports Professor Olawale Moronkola has hailed the appointment of the new Minister of Sports Senator John Enoh as the right choice for the betterment of sports.

According to Professor Moronkola ” I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu choice of Senator John Enoh as the new Minister of Sports.

This shows that the President places high premium on Sports. I believe the new Sports Minister will continue with the legacy left behind by Mr Sunday Dare.

He has alot to take away from the Former Minister since government is a continuum. We are confident that the new Minister will bring his vast experience in both public and private business to bear on the Ministry.

We are excited by his appointment and look forward to working with him to consolidate on what we have done by building on the legacies of the Former Minister Mr Sunday Dare.

We hope and pray that he would initiate policies to improve what had been done. We are ready to support him and confident that his tenure will herald a good direction for Nigerian Sports”.

Enoh is the 36th Sports Minister since Nigeria attained Independence in 1960.

The Director General of the National Sports Commission Hon. Bukola Olopade, has stated the commitment of the leadership of the Commission to Training and Retraining of staff for scientific productivity of Nigerian Sports.

The DG stated this when he was a surprised guest at the meeting of the newly appointed Federation Secretaries with the Director of the Federation of Elite Athletes Department (FEAD), Olumide Bamiduro.

” One of the things that myself and the Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, discovered was lacking in the Commission when we were appointed is training and restraining of staff. This is why we have challenged the various Directors to go to their various departments to start looking for quality brains that we can give both local and international training and restraining to”.

” The Sports ecosystem that we are in is very dynamic and this is why alot of training and retraining will happen this year to complement the productivity and efficiency of the Commission”.

The DG also charged the Federation Secretaries to be up and doing and align themselves with the vision and mandate of the Commission especially with the Renewed Hope Initiative for Nigeria Sports Economy ( RHINSE ) campaign.

” As Federation Secretaries that you all are , we are about to make history together in so many ways. For the Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko and myself, our determination is to ensure that you all are given the impetus to drive the federations as Independently as you can”.

” I also want to appeal to you all that the chief operating officers,COO, that we have introduced are not here to disturb you or usurp your job. They are here to support you and I have no doubt that the symbiotic relationship that you can establish with them will only galvanize the history making approach we all have for the Commission”.

The Director of Federation of Elite Athletes Development (FEAD) , Olumide Bamiduro however thanked the DG for the surprise visit , stating that his visit further re-echoes the ongoing reforms and the commitment of the current leadership of the Sports Commission to achieve the Sporting mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,GCFR.
